Changing lives through the power of golf 

 

As EDGA marks 25 years of action and advocacy, we proudly present Changing Lives, a book that reflects the last quarter of a century and our ongoing commitment to improving opportunities in the game of golf for people with a disability.

 

This publication charts the key milestones that have shaped EDGA’s journey and recognises shines the remarkable individuals whose passion, dedication, and belief have driven our progress.

 

We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who has contributed to this journey from players and partners to supporters, service providers and volunteers, that all have helped make EDGA what it is today.

 

 

 

 

                                     

EDGA (formerly the European Disabled Golf Association) is a not-for-profit, volunteer organisation, active in the promotion and delivery of opportunities to sample, participate and compete in golf. EDGA provides advice relating to golf for disabled players to The R&A, The International Golf Federation, The European Tour, The Ladies European Tour and The European Golf Association on golf for the disabled.

Focusing on growing the game, EDGA has designed and implemented coach education programmes for delivery in rehabilitation centres, hospitals and golf clubs. All of these initiatives are available to the members of EDGA, as are protocols for tournament administration, definitions of impairment and other programmes which are available to grow the number of golfers with disability around the world.
